Jim Cramer Discusses Why Thomson Reuters Became an AI Casualty

Thomson Reuters Corporation (NASDAQ:TRI) is among the stocks in focus as Jim Cramer reviewed the S&P 500’s top performers and the Nasdaq 100’s biggest laggards for the first quarter. Cramer highlighted the impact of AI on the stock, as he commented:

The eighth-worst name in the Nasdaq 100 was Thomson Reuters, down nearly 32%. And this is another example of a business services play getting hit by AI competition fears. Thomson makes software that compiles financial data, which we use here at Mad Money, and they also own Westlaw, a similarly essential online legal research service. You don’t need Westlaw, though, if you have a system that can comb through all the decisions they’ve written in just a few seconds. Can Claude do all the things these platforms do? Wrong question. The right question is, do you want to stick with Thomson Reuters while we wait to find out? Money managers won’t do that.
